Hair Secrets: "To take care of my hair, I shampoo and then sit under the dryer for about 10 minutes with the conditioner on. This allows the conditioner to really penetrate and then I rinse it out. I follow that by setting my hair on large magnetic rollers.
Once its dry, I take the rollers out, do a Wrap and then comb the length straight. For my complexion, I wash and moisturize my face with Clinique products and I like to use M.A.C. and IMAN makeup-and a few things from the Dermablend line... I've been trying to get this specific red shade on my hair for three years!
It's actually made up of five different reds. it's a bit hard to maintain, because my roots grow in so I have to get it re-highlighted and then follow with the color applicaiton. That's why I keep my hair well conditioned and keep the ends trimmed." She applies Soft & Beautiful Botanicals Botanical Oil to her edges to add extra moisture and shine.
Family: Her mom, Cheryl, used to join their tour in 1998, chaperon them everywhere they go, and ensured that they get everything they need - which includes support and a hug when they need one. She tried to get her father to the same job as Beyonce's father, and after that she found herself out of the group.
